day 16: fields of gold

by Tracy Wright | Feb 5, 2021 | blog, Knitting, tracy wears wool

You’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky, when we walk the fields of gold. Sting said it all, on this amazing song.

Tomorrow, I’ll cross my own field of gold and I head down to take a look at the ever-changing coastline that is my beach.

Pretty amazing.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store this week:

I’m back at the beach… Long Beach Washington, that is. Today, I had a rhythm class and a vocal class online. Both are put on by the city college, as part of an older adult series. And it is a nice safe environment to try things out. Get creative.

Still need to lace up my shoes and practice my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging class.. but it’ll have to wait until tomorrow. Just to tuckered out with the drive and all I did go ahead and order the Frye oxfords… can’t wait until they arrive! Think they will go with the Dress??? ( OF COURSE THEY WILL!!)

Here’s what I came up with for today!

The Details:

Woolamina with The Love Note Sweater I knit — first of my 12 sweater goals for this year.

Topped it off with a classic Carhartt jacket.

Since I am back in camp– a campfire is on my mind!! Too bad the rain is falling — tomorrow, maybe!!

Got these great firestarter sticks that work like a charm. HERE for more…

Check out my knitting page… and pick up some free patterns and fun information!

That’s it for now. Tomorrow is another day!

day 45: and the beat goes on

by Tracy Wright | Mar 6, 2021

And the beat goes on... forever, I hope! Lately, I have been enchanted by the rhythm of life. I am not sure if it is because I spend so much time alone, that I am becoming more aware of everyday rhythms around me... waves, squirrels, birds, traffic,...

day 44: blue jean

by Tracy Wright | Mar 5, 2021

Blue Jean -- whoever invented it is a genius! Apparently a collaboration between Jacob Davis and Levi Straus!! I particularly like it in a dress! Although I used to have an overall dress that I loved in the '70s -- I think we called them Hogwashers. Wish I...

day 43: downtown

by Tracy Wright | Mar 4, 2021

Here's what I came up with for today! Downtown -- at least once a week, I like to go out and get all my errands and shopping done. And maybe have a little happy hour. But it is Lent right now --In case you didn't know - and I have given up... Alcohol. And I...

day 15: long way home

by Tracy Wright | Feb 4, 2021 | blog, tracy wears wool

“Forgive me pretty baby, but I always take the long way home.” Tom Waits wrote it but Norah Jones really brings it home. And I think about those words and wonder if the “long way” is creative avoidance or a statement about finding one’s way. No matter, it’s a great song. Have a listen HERE.

Tomorrow, I’ll be taking the long way home.. literally. It would be faster to take the I -5 part of the way… but then really. So forgive me, I’ll always take the long way home.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store this week:

I’m in Portland, until tomorrow – and then head the long way home to the coast of southern Washington. Today, I had a rhythm class online, where I banged my drum a bit, ( 3/3 of for the daily practice goal) I had lunch with My Daughter the Chef, Ran Errands with Number 1, and played with the dogs. Also… a trip to Mud Bay to pick up treats for Rainey’s interactive dog toys… mostly to keep Rainey busy. She likes THIS one!

Still need to lace up my shoes and practice my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging class…. and have been checking out another pair, so I don’t have to drag them with me back and forth to the coast. Frye oxfords… be still my heart!

Speaking of Rainey, this is me trying to get a photo… while her being a miss silly pants. See her story HERE!

By the way, I was super impressed with the folks at Mud Bay. Not only will you find healthy food, and well-made supplies — but they DONATE lots of money to shelters!! I am not sure if they are in your area…. but if they are, check them out.

They don’t give me anything for this endorsement — but Dude and Rainey wouldn’t mind a lifetime of treats… ahem… just saying….

Here’s what I came up with for today!

The Details:

Woolamina with H&M basic boxy sweatshirt in pale pink, and pink knit buff — doubles as a mask in a pinch!

Pink Leggings are high waisted, compression style, and quite warm!

The reason Rainey wears diapers is because she has Spina Bifida. Even though she is completely mobile, she will always need to wear diapers. But we find cute diaper covers like THESE!

Here are some of the plants at Number 1’s house. Looking forward to spring, and more things starting to grow.

That’s it for now. Tomorrow is another day!
